NPPF - Canto Four

[Glenn Scheper]

Part 3 of 3

L923-4 - Now I shall speak of evil as none has / Spoken before.

See wicked, above. I have mentioned another possibility exists,
a reversal of blessing, exceeding what two lists might stomach.


L936-38 - I plough ... slaves make hay

The AF discovery position is also yoga's plough posture.
Religion terms us greek doulos, bondservants, of Jesus Christ.
Make hay is slang for intercourse. I think my father used it.


L939-40 - Man's life as commentary to abstruse /
Unfinished poem. Note for further use.

That is, God, or the Uni-verse; or this dispensation of it.
Similarly, my eisegesis has reached a point of superfluity.


L958 - Hebe's Cup

> Hebe was the Greek gods' cup-bearer, from which they
> quaffed the ambrosia that made them immortal.


L957-8 - Dim Gulf, Night Rote, Hebe's Cup, Pale Fire

This seems to recount Dante's down and up, making HC
the restorative to DG = AF, initiating the katabasis;
according to my exposition of such in Heroic Alterity.


L965-6 - and the noun I meant / To use but did not.

This recalls a reversal in Dickinson, and the usual
yin - yang gender assignment of passive and active:

Selected Poems by Emily Dickinson

"Going to him! Happy letter! Tell him--
Tell him the page I didn't write;
Tell him I only said the syntax,
AND LEFT THE VERB AND THE PRONOUN OUT.

Tell him just how the fingers hurried
Then how they waded, slow, slow, slow-
And then you wished you had eyes in your pages,
So you could see what moved them so.

"Tell him it wasn't a practised writer,
You guessed, from the way the sentence toiled;
You could hear the bodice tug, behind you,
As if it held but the might of a child;
You almost pitied it, you, it worked so.
Tell him--No, you may quibble there,
For it would split his heart to know it,
And then you and I were silenter.

"Tell him night finished before we finished
And the old clock kept neighing 'day!'
And you got sleepy and begged to be ended--
What could it hinder so, to say?
Tell him just how she sealed you, cautious
But if he ask where you are hid
Until to-morrow,--happy letter!
Gesture, coquette, and shake your head!"


...which causes me to re-think Dewlap:

Like the feral child who cannot learn language,
I feel that always-covered genitals have left
my imagination unable to picture a pudendum in
all it's varied and marvelous views. But as my
wife bent over in the garden in a short dress,
I realized: Now that's a dewlap, and a prickly
pear! And I recall a now-defunct Baubo's world
website using a phrase like, a buffalo stance.


L967-8 - Maybe my sensual love for the consonne /
D'appui, Echo's Fey child...

Google translate says "supporting consonant"

Echo recalls Narcissus, who loved his own image (or I say
without linguistic support maybe, countenance, face: AF?)

Fey: ... 1 [now chiefly Scot.] a) orig., fated, doomed to
death b) in an unusually excited state, formarely believed to
portend sudden death 2 strange or unusual in any of certain
ways, as, variously, eccentric, whimsical, visionary, elfin,
shy, otherworldly. (Websters NWCD)
